Mr. Schwarzlicht
A yawn escaped his lips as his eyes sleepily glided from screen to screen. So they were waking up, those test animals. His pupils flickered over to the other scientists. Mmm... where they showing emotion? Should I show emotion? Straining, his eyebrows contracting and his features contorting at his efforts, he tried to remember the last time he had felt emotion. Ah... Sophie. A true, real smile flickered across his face. But as quick as birds fly across the sky, it was gone again. I need to save Sophie.
You think the human race has discovered a breakthrough, huh?
EXPERIMENT #937 HAS AWOKEN. VITAL SIGNS STABLE.TERMINATION UNNECESSARY.
It boomed across the barren walls, and echoed...twice...once outside, once in his head. A more malicious smile spread across his lips. So you've survived, little mouse. He pleasantly looked over at the screen that displayed his assigned experiment awakening. Without a care in the world.
Proud of yourselves, you rats?
Flashing a polite grin at Dr. Watson and her scrutinizing, piercing looks, he makes his way to decontamination. She looks cheery, he thought. Then his view slid beyond hers, and rested on a very tortured looking college: Mr. De Note. His features, actions, vibes were familiar. Jace blinked. Such a distant look. Could he be dreaming, or perhaps hallucinating?
So long as innocent girls die because of your selfishness... Oh. Sophie. Sophie...
Jace stepped up to Dr. De Note. He really wasn't in the mood, but oh well. Be nice to the other kids, wasn't it? Placing a firm, pale hand on De Note's shoulder, digging his fingers into his skin and shaking firmly, he searched for his attention. "Mr. De Note?" his low, booming voice came out. Calmly, he steadied his grip. "Are you alright?"
Damnit, he thought, same look I had on me when... No, Sophie didn't die. Anyways, it was something he had to face alone, to beat alone. He looked up at Dr. Watson. "Any idea what's happened to him?"
Too overjoyed, maybe? Heh.
